    High Back Cut, Burnham Style!

    I suppose if you kind of grew up around that gnarly chit used on the western slopes it wouldn't be big deal .I'll tell you that would drive me up a wall working in a tangled up mess like I've seen on TV . It might not be that way .I've never seen a high line operation,in operation .
